rules: in a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. tag ten friends, including me, so i’ll see your list. make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them!
Michael Ende, Die unendliche Geschichte (The Neverending Story) -
(almost) all of the Agatha Christie books and Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, I really can't single a out a particular book - also, maybe not so much touched me but accompanied me throughout my teenage years
Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns
Alexander Masters, Stuart A Life Backwards - a biography... that you should read!!
Stephen Fry, Moab Is My Washpot
Antonio Tabucchi, Pereira Declares: A Testimony
Anna Sewell, Black Beauty - haven't read this since I was young, but remember it as both beautiful and very painful
Christoph Hein, Der fremde Freund (The Distant Lover)
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
(these aren't necessarily my favourite books, just what came to my mind first at "that have touched you"; weird mixture of just recently read and been with me for a long time)
